OF -CHRISMS TOYS! j Toy depart ments in down-town ; stores are open The holiday season, I therefore, has begun officially. Store5 j are crowded with small girls and boys j on their -way to inspect Santa Claus s j storks and make sansruine selections. One would have to be quite past all j interest, in life and happiness to fail ; to be thrilled by the 1921 varieties of j Christmas toys. They are even more various, more elaborately detailed than ever. The child of 30 years as ) j who was content with a button string, a cambric picture hook and a chim i doll with glassy, painted features and hair, would be dazzled into hysteria by the multitude now offered. They can't be catalogued; they can't be described. In price, thev rariRp from a penny to-well, an electric train, complete with tracks, station, roundhouse, tunnel, signals, and every detail. The. toys start with the old favorites, dolls, blocks and 1 it tl tin wagons to be pulled about with a string. They range through tool boxes, hobby horses and velocipedes to ocean liner. Furniture Reproduced. Every article used in a present day household U reproduced in "pocket editions" for the delight of little girls.

WILL STOP SELLING OF QUAIL TO HOTELS

Making Pearls Cheap By FREDERICK J. HASK1N

WASHINGTON". D. C, Nov. The true pearl, formed by the oyster, is having a hard time

settled regarding the status of 'his Getman pearl. It is an imitation and claims to be nothing el3e. But, if it is so good that all but experts are deceived, and if it can be sold for one-

i fifth the price of other imitation pearls

as the manufacturer announces, may there not be a demand for this cheap article to the detriment of trade in other pearls, both real and imi'atlon? Dealers fear that there may. So the pearl business is still disturbed. The German pearl maker, Hcrr Heinz, i3 known as an expert in imitation gems. He used to claim that he could produce a beautiful imitation

of any gem except the pearl. That, hei

admitted, was the most difficult to imitate, but still no expetimented with formulas, unti1 at last he has hit upon a satisfactory one. His formula is reported as a mixture of fish lime, wax, and silver nitrate in molten glass. Blown glass pearls are far from new. A preparation made from the scales of the bleak fish has long been used to coat the inside surface of glass to make pearl beads. This fish skin subrtance contains brilliant colors and gives to the elass the creamy, opalescent tint cf the pearl.

Wax is genialy used to fill the hollow inside the glass bead to make it resemble the solid structure of a pearl.!

i But the surface has a glassy shine, i

and the bea 1 is slightly lighter in i weight than a real pearl. Glass beads! have, therefore, always been readily j distinguishable from real pearls to any; practiced e' p i

! Apparently, Herr Heinz has improv-j ed on this product. It i announced 1 j that the blowing of his new- glass pearls

; is a (Iitticuit yrt. Heinz says the tne ( he can copy the pearls in any collar

or ornament so closely that the owner!

can wear the imitation and still attract j admi: ation to.' her beautiful pearls: whiie the real gem:; lie safe in a vault. The result of this challenge to the! bearl business an d'he dog collar dow-: asrrs ha? not yet bpen announced. j Whether the much discu-s.ed Jaianee pearl will stay where tlif deal-j ers want it, plainly classified as a . culture pearl, also remain s to he seen. ; Mr. Kokichi Mikimoto. the owner of; the pearl farm says he has always! !d his goods as cultured pearl. In i one of his catalogues, lie described; the prosess by which he induces the;

oyster on his rarm to make pearls.

But he says lhat. he cannot be re-1

of fishing for wild pearls ha3 always been done in this locality. Mr. Mikimoto chose the place, figuring that conditions should be favorable to oyster culture. Young oysters live in the bed3 here for three years. They are then taken out and an irritant, the nucleus for a pearl, is introduced into the oyster. The nucleus is generally a round bit of mother-of-parl inserted in the liver of the oyster. The oysters are then parked in

mother of pea-1 base and used in rings and other jewelry. This sort of pearl coating has been done for centuries by the Chinese wttu tiny images. Little metal Buddhas pre. placed in the oyster shell to be covered over with a pearly coating. But Mikimoto was not satisfied until he had produced round, perfect pearls in quantities on his farm. Since then the industry has steadily grown and to date not even the pronouncement of the European gem dealers against the cultured pearl has caused

Mr. Mikimoto to discharge any of his

fields on the sea bottom, each shell

being placed a foot or more away from j oyster farm hr.nds.
